[QUOTE="aileenmoore00, post: 1437190, member: 394970"] Hey, I'm also 17. I went on the implant around July last year. I thought it was the best option because it's hard enough doing your insulin and tests without having to remember to take the pill as well! You do have to remember that like insulin the implant/pill is also a hormone. My levels have always been a little out of control and I am unsure whether the implant had made it worse. Doctors will say that it does not make a difference but every one is different. Maybe start on the pill because you can come off this if you feel your levels change. Whereas the implant they will tell you to keep in for 6 months. Personally I would recommend using a condom as well because the diabetes does effect the effectiveness of the contraceptive. Hope this is helpful x [/QUOTE]
